The Lebanese Parliament elected on Thursday army commander Joseph Aoun as the country’s next president after two and a half years of vacancy.
Aoun secured 99 votes, two-thirds of the MPs, enough to be elected Lebanese president, in a second voting session. In the first round of the vote, 71 out of 128 lawmakers voted in favor of the army commander, short of the required 86. Twenty ballots were declared null and void.
